On Friday, September 13 I had a melanoma excised from
my left temple. This was my second melanoma. The first
was removed two years ago by an incredible, world class
skin surgeon at Duke.

Trust and confidence are so important to our relationships
and decisions. When we discovered the new melanoma
(which thankfully was very shallow), it was a simple
decision for me as to whom to go to for its removal. It was
back to Duke, to Dr. Cook. He excised the melanoma and
got clear margins on the second try. It is a blessing to
know that this cancer is gone from my body.
Many people prayed for me, for my surgery, and for my
recovery. Those prayers of faith have meant so much to
me. To know that you are being lifted up in prayer brings
such comfort. The Lord heard those prayers and chose to
answer them with a successful surgery and a cancer free
prognosis. E. M. Bounds' words above are true indeed!

You may be facing something far more serious than a
shallow melanoma. Know that we would be humbled and
honored to be able to pray for you.
Thankful to God and for being uplifted in prayer,

Baked Apples with Dried Fruit & Walnuts:
In celebrating National Breakfast month and Apple month,
here is a recipe that you can have for breakfast and
dessert--a two for one!!!
Ingredients:
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
6 medium Golden Delicious apples
1 cup walnut pieces
1/2 cup raisins, or dried cranberries
1/4 cup unsweetened shredded coconut, (optional)
2 tablespoons maple syrup
1 teaspoon freshly grated lemon zest
1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
•
•
•
•
1/2 cup apricot preserves
1 1/2 cups apple cider
1 tablespoon butter
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
Preparation:
1. Preheat oven to 375°F. Lightly coat a shallow 8-by12-inch (or similar) baking dish with cooking spray.
2. Core apples all the way through with an apple corer,
making a 1-inch-wide hole. Peel the upper third of
each apple. Using a sharp paring knife, score the
flesh about 1/4 inch deep around the circumference,
more or less where the peeled and unpeeled areas
meet. With the paring knife angled down, cut a
shallow crater around the top of the hole to help
hold the preserves that will go there. Set aside while
you make the filling.
3. Place walnuts, raisins (or dried cranberries) and
coconut (if using) in a food processor. Chop the
mixture fairly well, but not too fine; you want it to
remain somewhat textured. Add syrup, lemon zest,
cinnamon and nutmeg; pulse several times to
combine.
4. Place the apples in the prepared baking dish and
gently press 1/4 cup filling into each cavity. Spoon a
generous tablespoon of preserves onto the crater of
each apple.
5. Combine cider and butter in a small saucepan; heat
over low heat until the butter has melted. Remove
from the heat and stir in vanilla. Pour the liquid over
and around the apples.
6. Cover the apples loosely with tented foil and bake
on the center rack for 30 minutes. Remove foil and
baste the apples well. Continue to bake, uncovered,
for 20 to 35 minutes more (depending on the size of
the apples), basting every 10 minutes, until the
apples are tender throughout. The best way to test
them is with a thin bamboo skewer; the slightest bit
of resistance near the center is OK because they'll
finish cooking as they cool. Let the apples cool right
in the pan, basting periodically. Serve warm, at
room temperature or cold, with some of the pan
juices spooned over each.
